It may seem like the focus is shifting to the 40 Days for Life, but the Life Chain is still there.

About 50 people came to the Life Chain. There were about 10 pro-abort protesters on the other side of the street and there was also an unexpected guest - a CBC camera man. Obviously it would be naive to expect an impartial reporting from their team, but the fact that the media started noticing the Life Chain, that alone is inspiring.

There was a devoted couple, Jeff and Nancy, handing out the DVDs of the 180 movie to passers-by, to cyclists and even to the drivers. There were many takers; I was delighted to see a young man carefully packing the DVD in his handbag. (I'm certain he was going to watch it.) Cars were driving by - plenty of them. And then we saw this vehicle, quite conveniently stopping in the traffic right in front of me, so I could take a good picture.

No, they are not on our team. As I understand, these are private ultrasound providers. And yet for them, who deal with it professionally, there's no doubt that the baby in the womb is alive, that this is a baby, not mere fetus. And that the pro-aborts with their signs that say "pro-woman, pro-child, pro-choice" are lying - first and foremost to themselves. Because murdering a child (whether inside the womb or outside) is never a "choice".

During both events -- which you can attend by streaming audio webcast or telephone -- you'll hear true stories from special guests about hearts changed, lives saved, abortion centers closed and abortion workers converted during 40 Days for Life campaigns ...

... and you'll learn how, with God's help, you can accomplish similar results where you live.

At the end of each webcast on July 16, we'll begin accepting applications for those who want to LEAD a local 40 Days for Life campaign -- from September 25 through November 3.

But the ONLY way you can apply on July 16 is to join us for one of these special events.

The webcast is absolutely free, but with more than half a million 40 Days for Life volunteers around the world, spaces will fill quickly.
